Pride in London is officially partnering with The Independent to highlight issues facing the LGBT+ community and raise funds for the organisation’s Unity Fund.

This year, the volunteer-run group, which organises the annual Pride Parade through the West End in London, will celebrate 50 years since the first Pride took place in the UK.

The exclusive partnership with The Independent will continue throughout Pride month, which takes place in June. The news brand is set to mark the month with initiatives in both the UK and the US.

Coverage will span both the Proud and Loud event at the Royal Albert Hall on 4 June and the Pride in London Parade and festivities on 2 July.
